If money is not an object and you just love the truck then by all means go for it and do it the way you want. Also, when deciding what you think the truck will be worth when you're finished, don't pay any attention to the auctions on TV. I've been all over the state and I haven't seen any money trees growing in Arkansas.

With this build the final value is nothing to me as I would never get rid of it, it's been in the family for 40 years... And there is a family joke about it not worth explaining on here lol. Plus I think it has so much character with the double head lights and the multiple grilles. And idk what Jonesboro is like but up here in NWA there is plenty of $$$$.
